Great to see my story get the cover. Fab artwork!
Starting on my series 2/B #Blakes7 boxset. Never been a huge fan of Redemption, always feels like one of those episodes that spends too long getting to the plot and then wraps everything up too quicky. Needed more time with The System and less with Blake being menaced by electricity wires.

This is what drives me nuts about the whole Epstein files thing. Oh wow, you mean the president is a rapist? There's been a publicly available recording of him talking about sexual assault and laughing about it for almost 10 years that I can find with a few words in YouTube's search.
the president admitted to sexual assault on camera and it didn't matter
